February – Derby County 1-1 (A) – 7.66

Just a couple of days later, we’ve got another top-ten entry! I hadn’t noticed this when collating the list, but three consecutive games each got better ratings than the one before.

This was a Valentine’s Day heart warmer, our first trip to Pride Park as equals. We certainly came away with pride in our hearts, but could have had three points. Mide Shodipo gave us an early lead, before Ben House was dismissed (rightly) on 55 minutes. Conor Hourihane levelled with 21 minutes to go, before Derby laid siege to the Imps goal. A combination of assistant referee Carl Rushworth and dogged defending saw us come away with a justified point.

Rushworth was Man of the Match, again, but Jackson and Roughan were also highly commended.
